Washed both cars over the weekend, just to have them rained on today...

Good job.

Had my car tuned today via Uprev through Forged Performance. Netted some great numbers. I'll have to wait to post graph for it's been a busy day. I also installed hood shocks and started to install a SS clutch line. But I need a specialty tool (line wrench) to get the final line off. So it will have to wait till tomorrow.

I found an epic new set of twisties, with an amazing 10mph decreasing radius banked turn, heading downhill at the end of a straight.

sounds like fun.

there's a road called Tuna Canyon in malibu that has similar tight hairpins. it was the last stretch of twisties before heading home on PCH every weekend.

Went back to the dealership today to have them install the front chin spoiler and front tire guards. I didn't know those 3 pieces were rubber-like so that keeps them from breaking as if they were made of hard plastic. Now my sports package 370Z is complete, LOL!

Went to car wash. Got my change back in quarters. Grrr. $14 worth. Noticed wanna bees hang out there at night. Every car there had a huge spoiler. Look up& everyone is looking at me. Quickly entered wash before the stupid starts. Ah nice and clean. Pollen sucks.

You will grow to despise the chin spoiler -- I have already trashed my first one and am on my second. It gets even worse if you lower your Z.

I don't have any interest in lowering my Z.
I like the height just fine and it looks perfect.
There seems to be just enough ground clearance, but if I scratch the chin spoiler, I'll eventually add a custom front lip later on.
I am trying to avoid anything that will hit the chin spoiler, so far it's been good.

My gas tank is about half empty, so I'll probably fill it up this weekend.
I hear it's going to snow another 3-4 inches here. That means, no Z action for the entire week.

arc- im with you with the ride height for street use.

i like the full suspension stroke when needed too on crazy dips and bumps on the expressway.

even at stock height the roofline is noticeably lower than my -1.5" lowered G35C.

Nice, I was expecting more of a drop. My Eibachs look the same. Will be installing Swifts this weekend on 20mm and 25mm wheel spacers. Need to post up several different angles on the Swift thread.
